Speechmatics File Size Limit Exceeded

Uploaded audio file exceeds the maximum allowed size.

Understanding Speechmatics: A Voice AI API Tool

Speechmatics is a leading Voice AI API company that provides advanced speech recognition services. It allows developers to integrate voice-to-text capabilities into their applications, enabling seamless transcription of audio files into text. This tool is widely used in various industries for applications such as transcription services, voice command interfaces, and more.

Identifying the Symptom: File Size Limit Exceeded

When using Speechmatics, you might encounter an error message stating 'File Size Limit Exceeded'. This error occurs when the audio file you are trying to upload surpasses the maximum file size allowed by the Speechmatics API.

Exploring the Issue: Why File Size Matters

The Speechmatics API has a predefined limit on the size of audio files that can be processed. This limit is in place to ensure optimal performance and resource management. When an audio file exceeds this limit, the API cannot process it, resulting in the 'File Size Limit Exceeded' error.

Understanding the Impact

Exceeding the file size limit can halt your application's functionality, especially if it relies on real-time transcription. It is crucial to address this issue promptly to maintain seamless operations.

Steps to Fix the Issue: Compress or Split the Audio File

To resolve the 'File Size Limit Exceeded' error, you can either compress the audio file or split it into smaller segments. Below are detailed steps to achieve this:

Option 1: Compress the Audio File

  1. Use an audio editing tool like Audacity to open your audio file.
  2. Export the file in a compressed format such as MP3 or AAC to reduce its size.
  3. Ensure the compressed file is within the size limit specified by Speechmatics.

Option 2: Split the Audio File

  1. Open the audio file in an editing tool like Audacity.
  2. Identify logical points in the audio where it can be split without losing context.
  3. Use the 'Split' function to divide the audio into smaller segments.
  4. Save each segment as a separate file and ensure each is within the size limit.
